Secret Garden Party, 2009

I was asked to design and make costumes for 2009 SGP festival for free festival tickets. I decided to make myself and my dear friend Gareth Garden Gnome costumes.

The costumes were made up of large wire woven hats that were dip dyed and made up of honeycombe and pointed draft twill weave structures.

The jackets were made up of a gnome language pattern and woven on the power loom.

I crochet small snakes for to go in my hair and we held home-made fishing rods. Great Stuff!

 

Stuff of Life Festival, Sherwood, 2011

Exhibiting some of my work at Stuff of Life Festival was great fun. A great day out for the community of Sherwood, Nottingham :) :)

My work is a bit too expensive to sell at this event. But it was great fun and great to get some feedback. I handed out a questionnare at the event to help with some market research for my business course.
